America's most colorful third party could use some attention — and some cash.

You might not know it from watching TV or listening to the radio, but a local landowner recently bulldozed a community garden, a power plant is set to be constructed between two wildlife refuges in the Everglades, and there are still four candidates from
the Green Party running for president of the United States of America. Frustrated by the lack of media attention toward issues it feels are important, the Palm Beach County chapter of the Green Party in March hatched the idea of launching an internet radio station. On April 25, a Friday just weeks after the idea had been pitched, about 30 people gathered at the Little Owl Bar in Lake Worth. Their goal: to raise $1,000 to buy a mixer — a piece of broadcasting equipment for the station. In sustainable style, the fundraiser was a vegetarian potluck.
